PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Governor Chafee said Tuesday he has asked Route 195 Redevelopment District Commissioner Dr. Barrett W. Bready to serve another four-year term on the land panel and Bready has agreed.

Bready attended the commission’s meeting Monday night and told The Journal he had been asked to serve again. Bready’s seat on the commission had expired in October.

Earlier this month, Chafee had nominated his former chief of staff, Patrick A. Rogers, to fill Bready’s open seat, while he re-nominated two other commissioners whose terms had expired with Bready’s. However, the morning the state Senate was expected to vote on whether to accept the Rogers’ nomination, Rogers withdrew his name from consideration.
